Chapter 344 - 344: Shocking Scandal! Emperor Yin’s Arrival (2)
Translator: _Min_
When the Zuo Corporation received the news, it was already too late to contain the situation.
“How could this happen?” Left Tianfeng, enraged, slammed his fist on the table. “When did that foolish boy go to the edge of Southern State ? And he caused such a scandal, the entire internet is abuzz with our family’s disgrace, even affecting our stock prices.”
Left Xianyu bit her lip, trying to speak, “Dad, I…”
But suddenly she was struck by a realization, her expression changing rapidly.
She had always been meticulous in her actions, but this time, after talking to Zuo Zonghe yesterday, she had let her guard down.
Si Fuqing might not have been in any trouble at all.
Then who was on the phone with her yesterday?
A sense of uncontrollable panic surged within Zuo Xianyu’s heart.
What on earth had happened to her?
“What do we do now, Tianfeng?” Mrs. Zuo cried despairingly. “Can Zonghe be saved? Can he still carry on the family line?”
“All you do is cry,” Left Tianfeng was exasperated. “First, we need to bring him back, no, not to Lin City, take him to the Lin family in Sijiu City.”
The Lin family, known for their scholarly background and generations of medical practitioners, had a young generation that was exceptionally talented.
Zuo Tianfeng could only hope for their help now.
“Cursed luck, not a single good thing has happened these days,” he muttered angrily, hitting the wall. “Xianyu, when is the master from Sijiu City arriving?” Zuo Xianyu, snapping out of her trance, replied uneasily, “In a few days.” “I really don’t want to believe in superstitions, ” Zuo Tianfeng grumbled.
Even the Yin-Yang Masters from Eastern Mulberry had assured him that the Zuo family was not in trouble, but too many coincidences had occurred, and he felt the need to be cautious.
Their immediate priority was to wake Zuo Zonghe and find out what really happened.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the program group was also tense.
With such an incident occurring so close to the camp, and the gruesome scene being so nauseating, everyone’s mood was understandably dampened.
“Did you see that?” the director said gravely. “There are many wild animals in these mountains, and only the local villagers can tame them. Everyone must stick to the routes we have set and absolutely must not wander off.”
[Everyone else: No problem, Director, we won’t wander off; Si Fuqing:
[This is hilarious.]
[I want to see a scene where Si Fuqing engages in a bare-handed fight with the beasts.]
As the director finished speaking, he signaled to Qi Shuning, “Shuning, your mentor is looking for you. Come out for a bit.”
Taken aback, Qi Shuning quickly rose and walked over.
[Qi Shuning’s mentor is the host of “Speaking of Great Xia History” – a figure much admired for his historical narrations.]
[Her mentor travelled all the way here to see Shuning, they must have a great relationship.]
Inside the director’s tent, Qi Shuning is greeted with concern. “Shuning, after a whole day of filming, how are you feeling? Any discomforts?” his mentor inquires.
Qi Shuning, with a slight press of his lips, admits to feeling unsettled, “I’m alright, just feeling a bit unbalanced internally.”
His mentor, surprised, furrows his brow, “What’s the matter? Is the crew treating you unfairly?”
She was one of Great Xia TV’s own, and she had to carry the burden down the road.
Inside the walls of the Great Xia platform, preparations were already underway for Qi Shuning to host a solo program, intricately tied to the rich history of Great Xia.
Prior to Qi Shuning’s arrival, numerous reminders had been passed down to the program team, emphasizing the need to take extra care of her. After all, Qi Shuning was but 22, still tender in years.
Qi Shuning, her mind a whirlwind of frustration, grumbled, “Now a popular idol has joined us, a jack-of-all-trades, personally invited by the assistant director. Probably the hidden backers have promised some benefits to the program team.”
She found it hard to believe that Si Fuqing, who went out for a morning run, had coincidentally helped the villagers with their harvest and even brought back a basket of eggs.
Their encounter yesterday had already shown how the villagers here were not welcoming to outsiders.
Moreover, the village, with its simple and honest customs, lagging development, and isolation from the outside world, was a true Shangri-La.
Only someone with cloud-piercing popularity like Yun Lan, or a veteran comedian who frequents the Spring Festival Gala, could be recognized here.
Even if it were Su Yang who came, these people wouldn’t bat an eye, unless there was favoritism from the program team.
“Did the show really invite a popular idol?” the mentor asked in surprise. “I thought the director wouldn’t pander to fans and elevate these current popular stars.”
Xu Jiannian was also a star, but at least he had notable works.
As for Si Fuqing, until now, he was known for only one show, “Youth With You,” and that too, as a mentor..
